SCA: security update for compliance-trestle (GHSA-r4vp-3vw6-r2x5)

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 448356

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

 - Compliance-trestle (Trestle) is a Python SDK and command-line tool for managing OSCAL compliance
 documents. In versions before 3.12.4 and versions 4.0.0 through 4.0.3, the catalog-generate, profile-
 generate, and ssp-generate author commands write generated Markdown to an attacker-influenced output path
 without path-traversal validation, allowing arbitrary file write outside the Trestle workspace. These
 commands join the user-supplied output argument onto the Trestle root and write to the result, but guard
 it only with an is_directory_name_allowed() task-name-collision check rather than the
 PathSecurityValidator.validate_local_path() guard used by the jinja command, so an absolute path or one
 containing traversal sequences escapes the workspace and writes files under an attacker-chosen location as
 the invoking process owner. The security boundary is crossed when a trusted CI job, shared service, or
 wrapper derives the output argument from repository-controlled, tenant-controlled, or otherwise untrusted
 data while expecting output to stay inside the workspace. When --force-overwrite is used, the selected
 output directory is first recursively deleted, extending the primitive to destruction of an attacker-
 chosen directory tree and enabling indirect code execution by overwriting files a pipeline later runs.
 This issue is fixed in versions 3.12.4 and 4.1.0. (CVE-2026-57171)

Solution

Update the compliance-trestle library and its related packages to version 3.12.4 or later.
